Here I am with another mini kit for Kim's Color Challenges. I missed last month, as I've had some computer problems. Plus, sorry Kim, but I just couldn't get into those colors. She gives us 5 colors and we are to create a layout or mini kit with them.

The hard drive, went out in my, less than a year old, HP computer. Fortunately, I keep backups on externals. WHEW! Rather than deal with HP's tech support...and I'll leave it at that....I just took it to The Geek Squad at Best Buy and had them fix it. It's, actually, still there. My laptop has been getting a good work out because of it. However, not before a problem started with it too. Since Comcast gives me McAfee for free, I decided it was time to uninstall Nortons (purchased) and just use McAfee. Well, the computer had a different opinion. Norton's had embedded itself in so many places, that it caused networking problems along with a few others. I spent time with Comcast and Sony tech support to try and get it working. We finally gave up after an hour and did a complete recovery. That meant reinstalling everything. What a pain, that always is. And I'll be looking at reinstalling when I get the desktop back too.

Enough of all that. Here's my mini kit that I made for the Color Challenge. You can download it by clicking on the picture.
